Description The New Balance 1080v2 affirms NB's place at the vanguard of innovation by reworking the premium neutral cushioning running shoe into a truer masterpiece than ever before. This cutting-edge trainer can handle longer distances and larger frame runners with consummate expertise. Built on the natural PL-1 last, with an 8 mm offset rather than the 12mm offset in the previous model, it provides a flatter platform that's inherently stable, facilitating both a midfoot strike as well as a more traditional heel strike. The streamlined, ergonomic upper uses welded seams to provide a supportive, intensely comfortable fit with minimal rubbing. N2 nitrogen-infused cushioning and the revolutionary T-beam lightweight TPU center support work to give runners the plushest, most enjoyable ride yet with better, more durable shock absorption than ever.
